The Vanguard VEO 3T 265HCBP Carbon Fiber Travel Tripodfrom Vanguard VEO 3T 265HCBP Carbon Fiber Travel Tripodis designed as a solution for bloggers, streamers, photographers, and videographers on the go. It provides maximum stability for streaming on social media or capturing wildlife, street, and travel photography. It comes equipped with an innovative and versatile VEO 2 BP-120T Arca-type-compatible ball/pan head with a removable panhandle, making it ideal for photographers who also want options for video. To help get the most from a smartphone, the VEO 3T includes a QS-72T quick release plate that changes from a traditional plate to a smartphone holder, accommodating devices up to 3.33" wide, plus a convenient Bluetooth remote control trigger that is compatible with IOS or Android phones. When in smartphone mode, the QS-72T quick release plate includes a cold shoe mount for an accessory such as a lighting unit or microphone, as well as an additional 1/4"-20 thread hole on the side to add even more accessories.

Strong carbon-fiber legs can reliably support 26.5 pounds, yet fully invert upward to help save packing space. The legs feature twist lock joints for easy cleaning and reassembly, making it possible to remove sand and other debris to prolong the life of the tripod.

When a tripod is too large or cumbersome to use, the center column and one leg can be combined into a convenient, full- featured monopod, ideal for sports, action, and wildlife photography.

Q: 2. Is the weight measurement wrong?? Only around 100grams difference between carbon fibre and aluminum version??

A: The Carbon Fiber version is 2.63 lbs, and the aluminum version is 3.7 lbs, that is a difference of 485 grams.

Q: 3. Does it have a built in level?

Q: 4. Can it handle a 600mm F4 lens?

Q: 5. Is this tripod compatible with the peak design capture camera clip?

Q: 6. Can the ball head be replaced with another one or is it fixed to the center column?

A: Yes, the head can be removed.

Q: 7. Is the ball head removable

A: According to Vanguard, yes, the ball head on the Vanguard VEO 2 235CB Carbon Fiber Tripod is removable. You would simply loosen the two (2) hex set screws under the head, lock down the head's adjustment dials so it does not move, and pop the head counterclockwise. The thread size on the male screw on the top of the center column is the standard ¼”-20 thread size. If you are using a tripod head that has the larger 3/8"-16 tripod thread size, you will need a reducer bushing to connect the tripod head to your tripod, such as the Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing, B&H # OB1039.

Q: 8. How do I replace the rubber feet on my VEO 3T+234CB to spike feet?

A: According to the manufacturer this tripod is made in Myanmar (Burma), but this is subject to change.

Q: 10. Can the legs be locked at other angle besides the stated 23, 50 or 80 degree? Some tripod allows the legs to be locked at any angle between 0 and 90.

A: No. This has set angles.
